READ THIS OR YOU WILL REGRET. I am helping you…read more.. This review is not about CSULA, but this review is to help you against a crook cop. Be careful driving on Hellman Ave. The cop hides in intersection of Hellman ave and Ross ave, so he can give you a ticket for his monthly quota. He always does it toward the end of the month. The stakeout technique should be illegal. If you run 5 miles over the limit, he will ticket you. If you stop on the line at the stop sign, he will ticket you. As I said, it is his cash cow intersection.

CSULA is a pretty bad university. The aesthetics is below average. The architecture and scenery is…read morenot that good. The demographic makeup is not diverse as it's only Latinos and some Asians so you won't get exposure to other ethnicities. The social scene is very terrible. Students are very quiet and either stick to their own clique, look like they don't want to be bothered, or look too busy. Like seriously, where's the school spirit and parties at? Introverts looking to make friends will have a horrible time here but if you have to go here, go the full effort on clubs, orgs, frats/sororities and sports classes. Books, especially buying physical copies are pretty expensive. It's a crime they're charging money just for digital renting books you don't even own. I don't recommend digital renting if you're taking classes in your major as you may need to refer to them again. The university doesn't have a high rate of attractive women like UCLA and USC but there are a few attractive women if you're very patient.

They have a library that requires a special student ID card to access, and a bookstore that has everything you need as a professional student. The medical school itself is a great place to get your education. The staff really cares and goes a long way to make sure their students are well prepared. Their administration is the most efficient I've experience out of all the schools I've attended. While it is not an easy school to get into, once you're in, you're golden!

They have a bookstore, credit union, starbucks , post office and food court. It is surrounded by LAC USC Medical Center, USC Norris Cancer Center and Keck Hospital. As an alumni from graduate school of social work from USC,I often like to come on campus to eat, buy new USC gears and buy event tickets. This place is full of school spirit and it is clean. I love it here. Parking is free so it is easiler to get here vs the main campus. Also, if you want something in the bookstore and they don't have it. They can order it from main campus and call you when it gets here. They have great customer service

Much has changed since the last reviewer's post on HSC…read more There is a gym now! It's quite far down on Soto (the other side of the train track; next to Lincoln Park). There's a shuttle (the bus is labeled by 8.5" by 11" white paper that says, "Soto Building") that takes you to the gym. It comes every 20minutes starting at 6AM until 8PM. And I think the bus driver said that after 4PM, the frequency of the shuttle increases. The gym smells "new." All the equipment are new. There are lockers you can use on a per day basis (bring your own lock but nothing remains in the locker at the end of the day.) And you can check out towels for free. There's shower, bathroom, water fountain, and even studying lounges. It is no longer possible to find a broken meter. The county has upgraded all the neighboring meters with the credit card version so you don't even have an excuse for not having coins. The meter only runs from 8AM-8PM, but since the library closes by midnight, it may not be practical to only come on campus after 8. Of course, you can always park a little farther where there are no parking meters... but that's another story. There is really nothing to do around the campus and safety can be an issue after the sun sets. The food selection is also very scarce. Everything on campus can only be described as, "I had better elsewhere." There is a post office on campus. And if you have the intercampus code (can be found online in the directory), you can send stuff to main campus offices for free. If you're a student, you can also purchase tickets to amusement parks and entertainments at a discounted price. (If only they can take $20 off of Disneyland ticket... com'on, $3 off? Why even bother...?)

Cal State's downtown L.A. campus offers a convenient way to earn your bachelor's degree in a hybrid…read moreonline mode, especially as a working adult who prefers online and independent studying. Their location is easily accessible with plenty of parking. Interestingly, the setting is more like a modern office than a traditional campus. Their professors are excellent and supportive. I enjoy the cohort style where I get to know the other students. I highly recommend this option for those who work full time, can work independently, and need a combination of online zoom classes with occasional in-person sessions. As to the negative reviews here, I'm glad I ignored them. Most don't appear to be legitimate students but whiners. Overall, it is a worthwhile program, especially for independent and disciplined students taking hybrid/online education. You learn, earn a valid degree, meet excellent professors and make new friends.

This is a cautionary tale:…read more Cal State LA's downtown location is a nice facility with some programs designed to help you acquire your degree. Unfortunately, their care, cost, and execution are lies. My wife is finishing up her bachelor's degree this semester and has talked to counselors many times during her 2 years as a Golden Eagle. CSULA has waited until now, weeks into her final semester, to inform her that they will not accept a general education class and one of the major courses does not count (which was selected by the program, not her). This means we will pay for the "all inclusive" program and now for additional classes out of pocket for her to finish her degree. I toured schools with her and while CSULA put people out that said they cared, they actually are unable to care for their students because they lack the ability to council them and provide the degree they advertised. If you are considering CSULA's downtown program for convenience, I beg you to consider elsewhere, as they have left us high and dry to pay a premium for these night classes, but also pay for additional classes now that they have mismanaged her schedule over the course of 2 years. It seems it would be easy for educators and administration to admit their fault and offer to correct the problem under the cost of the special program, but instead we have been met with an explanation that amounts to "this is a YOU problem" and a hands off attitude. I hope their professors leave for other schools and their program implodes so that others can learn from great professionals while not getting swindled by what's apparently a greedy administration who has used this opportunity to upsell additional courses. In dealing with many people who can or could choose to fix this problem, Debra Meir is the one with the ability and position to solve this problem. She is largely responsible for being the person who is not accepting school accountability for mismanagement of scheduling, lacking oversight of courses needed, and adding additional cost to an "all in one price" program.
